Cherubs Longdale sits on the site of a former Riding School and Stables - set in an acre of protected woodland. The nursery has been providing high quality early years care and education for children since July 2001. Spread across 4 age-appropriate air-conditioned rooms and with 3 different outdoor spaces (including Baby Garden, Toddler Garden and Allotment) for children to enjoy - this nursery really does tick all the boxes.

If you’re looking for a modern but rural nursery, overflowing with outstanding facilities, Cherubs Longdale is the nursery for you.

The nursery has done my child the world of good. She has blossomed into a confident, chatty little girl. Nursery has played a big part in this.

Our second child to attend Longdale and we have seen wonderful development in both children. We have been really impressed with the bonds he has created with his keyworker. He has been encouraged to make friends and this has been evident in the improvement in his speech.

Cherubs Longdale have been fantastic at caring for and developing our son. They have such a variety of activities each day to help the children learn and have fun. We never have to worry about our son as we know he is getting the best care there. We can't praise all the staff enough or thank them enough
for what they do.

Care for our daughter at the nursery has been excellent. The care and development of my child could not have been better. Keyworkers for my daughter have become like extended members of the family looking after our daughter three days a week. Any issues raised were addressed and communication has been
good. I would have no problem in recommending this nursery to others. The setting is great with outdoor facilities.

My daughter has been at this nursery for just over three years and the experience the whole time has been fantastic - not only have they supported and cared for my daughter to exceptional standards they have also supported me and been willing to answer any questions I have about her learning and development.
Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Both of our sons have attended Longdale from when they were 9 months old through to 4 years old. We couldn't have been happier with the care they received. A home away from home. I would say that whilst there are cheaper childcare providers in the area, I honestly believe sending the boys to Longdale
was worth every penny.

Nursery setting perfect, it feels so cosy and personable every time I visit. Staff are very friendly and professional. My daughter only goes one day a week, so I am not sure she gets the most benefit from relationships and socialising with the other children, however, I feel that she has settled in
well and every week develops in one way or another.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Cherubs Longdale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.961 for Cherubs Longdale is calculated as follows: ( (393 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.961

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherubs Longdale is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Head of Nursery

Joined: 2014

Hello, I'm Rachel - Head of Nursery at Cherubs Longdale. I decided to pursue a career in childcare as I grew up with lots of siblings and family friends. As I grew older, I did lots of babysitting which inspired me to work in childcare. I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them grow and develop.


I have been in childcare for a while now and with Cherubs Nurseries since 2014. I have gained a huge insight into childcare by being fortunate to work at a few Cherubs settings including Cherubs Sutton in Ashfield and Cherubs South Normanton. On a day-to-day basis, I ensure Cherubs Longdale is effectively run by ensuring we provide a high level of care and always putting the children, parents and families at the heart of everything we do.
